I detect a large amount of sarcasm in this post. :p

You sir, put the a$$ in class.

Wow, you sir are a class act. I'm glad you choose to bite the hand that feeds you.

Joe, you are the epitome of reasons why DAL needs to reign in the regional carriers. You are poisioning our Brand.

I fear we're actually rewarding the behavior. Joe obviously gets a rise from this stuff. Every time we "bite", we inflate his ego.

The statement you're all quoting speaks for itself, and gives you all the insight into the author and his "thought" process that you would ever need.

Good point.

being out of the loop at ASA now, what are the two companies doing to rectify the abortion that is the ATL ramp? All I ever saw time to time was a BH comment that "ASA is working with Delta to resolve ramp issues," yet it seems like things never change. As easy as it is to finger point, it would be much more productive for both companies to work together and fix it so customers don't walk across the street to AirTran. As the old saying goes, if you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Got lots of buddies at Delta, and overall I am wishing them the best because they are going to go after a superior wage scale very quickly when the company does well, and that would help our profession. Good luck!

Most people that brag about the kind of money they make are usually lacking in other areas.........................
